Do you and your SO's work hours overlap?

Do you and your SO's work hours overlap?

I'm curious about this after discussing it with a friend. We disagreed on what was "common" for a couple. Just getting a general idea of how much time that you are both working overlaps each other.

ETA: for app users...

Similar work hours (6-8 hours overlap)
Some overlap (3-5 hours overlap)
Opposite shits (2 or less hours overlap)
One of us doesn't work
Neither of us work

Hah hah. Opposite shits.

Works well in a house with only one bathroom

I work from home, but I work a 9 - 5 schedule.

H does, as well, although he occasionally has PM meetings.

[ZoeHart]

We have similar core hours. We both have days where we are at work much longer than the normal day but we try to not work on late on the same days so one of us can go home to let the dogs out.

[sharknado]

I work 7:30-4:30
H works 10:00-5:30

[BaliHai]

We both work 8-4:30 (save for Wednesdays when I work 9:30-6), but his schedule flexes more than mine.

[Dusky]

We worked opposite shifts for years but now we finally have a bit of overlap.

[bluetopaz]

H and I both work at the same school, so our contract time is the same. He's a coach as well, so that adds odd hours on his side.

[bex1973]

SS I work M-F 8-5 and H works 24 hours on Tues, 12 hours Wed and typically 12-24 on a weekend day. Like today he went to work a bit ago to start at 8PM and he gets off at 7PM tomorrow.

[ECB]

None of your options apply to me.

I work a normal M-F "9 to 5" job.

DH works 2 weeks on/ 2 off. 

[macmars45]

I work 8:30am-5pm.

H works between 8am-5:30/6pm (only 8 hours of that usually).

I can attest to this.

[sarapocalypse]

We work the exact same hours.

[daisybuchannan]

I'm a sahm, so my work hours never end.


















Kidding! I pawn those suckers off when my h gets home. So no, our work hrs don't overlap bc my H's really never end.

[stephlove]

H works 11pm -7am, I work 8am - 4pm. Basically, H leaves the car running when he gets home and then I hop in and go.

[candreco]

Same hours, same place so we commute together.

[Deleted]

I work 8:30-3:30 M-F

H works 8:30-5:00 M-F

[PeonyParty]

SS. We both work retail and work varied shifts. His changes a lot more frequently than mine now that I am Management. My schedule is supposed to be Day shift Mon and Tues, 3rd shift Wednesday night through Friday night/Saturday morning. I usually move my schedule around to accommodate his since I have the ability to as long as I log my 40 (salary). We overlap a few days a week and then some days are completely opposite shifts to have child coverage.

[marylennox]

We currently have the same work hours and commute together.

We have worked opposite shifts in the past.

[birdistheword]

He works 6:45-3:15 and I work 7:30-3:30.

[luckyval]

Generally yes, same hours.

[puppyluv]

We work at the same place and drive together so our hours are the exact same.

[cbwm1]

We work the same hours, at the same complex of buildings, so we drive in together and drive home together.

It's quite convenient.

[alicenelson]

I work days.  He works afternoon-evenings.  I am usually in bed asleep when he gets home.  Bliss.

[caddywompus]

We work the exact same hours.

[laceylaplante]

I voted "2 hours or less" but there is never really any overlap. We work opposite shifts, never get a day off together, except for rare occasions. Somtimes it really sucks, but saves us from any child care expense.

[ladystardust]

SS: DH's schedule changes seasonally. Winter we have similar hours but in summer there's only about 4 hours of overlap. We also have different days off.

[sarahswim]

H works 24 hours on, 48 hours off. I work 8-3:30 M-F. So, every third day, we have 7.5 hours of overlap.

[pandorica]

Overlap. Well, technically H is a student, but he works while I'm at work. When he gets a job we will work the same/similar hours.
